Miniera di Buca della Vena, Ponte Stazzemese, Stazzema, Alpi Apuane, Lucca, Toscana, Italia
The Buca della Vena mine was exploited for baryte and Fe oxides up to 1988.
The mineralization is hosted within two carbonatic lenses of dolomitic metalimestones of Upper Triassic age (Grezzoni formation) and marble of Liassic age (Marble formation), interbedded with lenses of phyllites. The orebody and the host rocks show evidence of deformations that have been referred to as a first compressive tectonic phase dating back 26 million years. Measured homogenization temperature in beryl crystals from the orebody ranged from 250° to 340° C, in good agreement with the metamorphic grade of the area (greenschist facies).
Carmignani et al. (1972, 1976) considered this deposit to be a metasomatic replacement of carbonate rocks, genetically connected to a hypothetical synkinematic intrusive body.
Cortecci et al. (1985), on the other hand, on the basis of isotope analysis of sulphates and sulphides, concluded that the deposit is sedimentary in origin and was subsequently metamorphosed and partly remobilized during the Tertiary Appenninic orogeny.
Orlandi & Dini (2004) distinguish four different types of mineral occurrence of Buca della Vena minerals:
— Type V-1 veins: calcite and baryte veins embedded in the dolomitic limestones.
— Type V-2 veins: quartz and baryte veins embedded in the orebody (Fe-oxides + baryte).
— Type V-3 veins: quartz veins embedded in the phyllites.
— Type F-1 fractures: vertical fractures with the wall covered by calcite, baryte, and albite crystals.
